Your smile deserves the best. Find out how our team of implant experts here in Okemos, MI, can help.
Let’s talk teeth. More specifically, let’s talk about missing teeth. Are you, like millions of Americans, missing one or more teeth? If so, you could be a great candidate for dental implants. If you’re wondering whether dental implants are the best solution for replacing your missing teeth, our Okemos, MI, dentist Dr. Gregory Brya can help you decide. Here are some facts about dental implants:
Dental Implants Mimic Real Teeth
You’re going to be hard-pressed to find any restoration that comes as close to looking, feeling, and functioning like a real tooth than a dental implant. Implants have helped many patients regain confidence and self-esteem in their appearance and the overall function of their smile. You can talk, smile, laugh, and enjoy eating again thanks to the dental implants we offer at our Okemos, MI, practice.
Dental Implants Preserve the Jawbone
Implants are the only restoration that actually preserves the jawbone and stimulates the development of new bone cells. Bone loss is a common problem in those with tooth loss, especially in people who’ve waited years to replace their missing teeth. One of the big reasons to turn to our dentists right away to treat your tooth loss is that we can prevent jawbone deterioration and the subsequent facial structure changes that occur as a result.
Dental Implants Can Replace All Teeth
Implants aren’t just for people missing one or a couple of teeth. This restoration can be used to replace multiple or an entire row of teeth. Even if you’re currently wearing dentures but considering making the switch to implants, you’ll be happy to know that implants may be able to support your current dentures. Implants are placed along the arches of the jawbone. The dentures are then attached to the top of the implants to hold them in place. No moving or shifting around when talking or chewing.
